Paradox and metaphor: Professor Michael Buchholz

Join us as we sat down with distinguished psychologist and psychoanalyst, Professor Peter Fonagy, in an exclusive interview brought to you by Berlin Psychoanalytic. 

Professor Fonagy is a highly renowned figure in the field of psychoanalysis and heads the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences at University College London, as well as serving as the Chief Executive of the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. 

As a leading voice in the field of attachment theory and mentalization-based psychotherapy, Professor Fonagy's work has had a profound impact on the understanding of mental health and developmental psychopathology. 

In this engaging conversation, BP's Aleksandar Dimitrijevic, Nicolas Lorenzini, and Lisa Malmheden join Professor Fonagy and gain insights into his expertise on contemporary psychoanalysis, mentalization, and his personal experiences with psychoanalytic training and therapy, and much more.

What’s the role of conscience, ethics, and morals in psychological development and individuation? To investigate this question Berlin Psychoanalytic invited again the Toronto-based psychoanalyst Donald Carveth (earlier discussion here) and Philosophy & Theology professor Sean J. McGrath for a conversation. As a base for our discussion, we have read the important 1958 Jung essay ‘A psychological view of conscience’. You can access it through the Substack page of our sister podcast, Psychology & The Cross and their Substack page. 

Donald Carveth is the author of the book "The still small voice: Psychoanalytic reflections on guilt and conscience” (Routledge, 2013). He runs a popular Youtube channel on psychoanalysis and also make some of his readings available on his website https://www.doncarveth.com/

Sean McGrath is a  Canadian philosopher and Professor of Philosophy at Memorial University of Newfoundland. He is known for his published work in the history of philosophy and the philosophy of religion. Major single-authored works includes for example 'The Dark Ground of Spirit: Schelling and the unconscious'. There is also a separate podcast series, Secular Christ where Jakob Lusensky discusses questions related to Christianity today.

Jakob Lusensky is a Jungian psychoanalyst with a private practice in Berlin.

Psychoanalysis should be free is the motto of Berlin Psychoanalytic. Although we cannot yet offer exactly that, there is a new initiative now set up by It's Complicated that offers something close to it and that is aligned with our vision. #TherapistsforUkraine is a psychological support service set up to offer free online counseling and psychological support for people directly affected by the war. This means all people, regardless of race, religion, or nationality who are directly affected by the Ukrainian war.

The help can be accessed through the website: https://www.complicated.life/ukraine

Since it was launched only four days ago, more than 600 counselors from across the world have registered to offer free pro bono sessions to people affected. The services are offered in English, Ukrainian, and more than 30 other languages. And we already have refugees who fled from Ukraine, making use of it

We now need your help in spreading the word so that the support reaches those people who are in need.

Please share the website and use the hashtag #therapistsforukraine

In a series of conversations with psychoanalysts, we hope to further our mission of making psychoanalytic education and thought available to everyone. First out is a conversation between Toronto-based Dr. Donald Carveth and Berlin Psychoanalytic's Jakob Lusenky. We discuss how to differentiate one's conscience from the sadistic superego, reparative versus persecutory guilt, the tragic foundation of psychoanalysis, and in what way Jesus was the first psychoanalyst.
